PODIUM
You were on the radio, talking about the start.
You felt it was a bit keen?
SV: No, I don’t think he… I was pretty sure he
jumped it. Ask Daniel about it.
Yeah, because Daniel was on the radio…
I will do exactly that. Daniel Ricciardo, fifth
consecutive time on the podium and once
again Daniel, it was a mega-overtake that was
the key for the race for you, down into Turn 3
at the start. You got your elbows out against
Kimi.
Daniel Ricciardo: Yeah, it was a fun race,
some decisive moments at the start and
then defending from Lewis the last couple
of laps. It got pretty close but I just stuck to
my braking points and when I thought the
limit was and held (him) off. Five in a row
is awesome, but to get it here in Austria…
You know Max got the home podium last
year and I was a bit envious, so it’s nice to
be up here this year. It’s nice to see all the
Formula 1 and Red Bull fans here.
And Lewis was homing in as well. You were
pretty under pressure at the end.
DR: Yeah. I think the second last lap was the
tightest. He got the DRS and he got a good
exit out of (turn) one; mine wasn’t so good and
he got close but yeah, nice to hold it off and I
was very pleased to see the chequered flag.
He had a run down the outside into turn four; I
thought he might have you there.
DR: Yeah… I wasn’t going to brake if I didn’t
need to but yeah, I thought it was clean and
fair so that’s good.
